Uhh... I'd imagine the samba team would argue otherwise :)
If you need CIFS shares or SMB/SPOOLSS printing, I don't see how Samba
is worse the Windows NT/2000/2003. You can at least chroot jail
Samba...
If you need a high degree of security you shouldn't use network
filesharing. Not CODA, AFS, NFS, or CIFS. Network filesharing is
very convinient and the forced convinience has led to some complexity
of code that invariably results in bugs.
Configure Samba proberly, and ensure you are running the latest bug
corrected version, and you should be alright.
